Google shares Gboard Conveyor Belt keyboard prototype
Original: Gboard Conveyor Belt Version
Google has published the source code for a 'Conveyor Belt' version of its Gboard keyboard under the mozc-devices project on GitHub. The experimental hardware concept features a scrolling input surface reminiscent of old conveyor-belt typewriters. It has drawn attention on Hacker News, where users are debating the novelty of the design and whether such an input method could ever be practical.
Why now: The unexpected release of Google's open-source hardware prototype invites curiosity and nostalgia-fuelled debate among developers.
